Eddie Howe is the current preferred candidate of Jason Wilcox to replace Michael Carrick should Manchester United<\/a> decide to change manager, with the director of football believing Howe\u2019s extensive Premier League experience places him ahead of other potential targets.<\/p>\n

Howe left Newcastle in late July<\/a> to take a break from the game but would seriously consider a return for the United role, it is understood, should this be offered.<\/p>\n

Howe would be less expensive to bring in than Unai Emery, another admired candidate, because Aston Villa would demand about \u00a320m in compensation for their manager.<\/p>\n

In five years managing Newcastle Howe impressed, leading the team to the 2025 Carabao Cup, ending a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy. After taking over from Steve Bruce in November 2021, Howe led Newcastle to 11th, winning 12 of the last 18 games. The team had gone 14 games without a victory at the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Howe also took Newcastle back into the Champions League after 20 years in 2023 and qualified again two seasons later. He managed Bournemouth for five seasons in the Premier League from 2015.<\/p>\n

Julian Nagelsmann, the former Germany and Bayern Munich coach, is highly regarded by Christopher Vivell, United\u2019s head of recruitment, but Wilcox\u2019s view may hold more sway with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who controls football policy.<\/p>\n

Carrick is under serious pressure after the club\u2019s poorest start since 1986. The 45-year-old is expected to remain in place for Sunday\u2019s visit of Bournemouth \u2013 he is due to hold his pre-game media conference on Friday \u2013 but the 45-year-old\u2019s job is in the balance after two wins from 11 games this season.<\/p>\n
